Sponsoring

Caring About Communities Around the Globe

By cultivating
relationships and contributing our knowledge, expertise, logistics and
financial support, Lonza is creating sustainable value for our communities
around the world. With our commitment to ethical, social and environmental
responsibility and sustainability, Lonza supports events, projects and programs
directly linked to Lonza's employees and sites. Our sponsoring activities focus
on the following five priority giving areas: Social
and Humanitarian, Education
and Science, Health
and Sports, Ecology, Arts
and Culture.

Our Sponsoring Approach: Linked to
Our Businesses

In the communities where we operate,
Lonza is much more than a faceless corporation. We are neighbors, a vital
source of jobs, a charitable sponsor of local schools and civic and cultural
projects, and often a significant contributor to local economies. While our
financial donations are vital, our employees also play a critical role by
volunteering in programs and projects in our priority areas.

We want to be a reliable, long-term
and active partner and to engage at the earliest possible stage of any community
project we sponsor in order to optimize the use of available resources.
Accordingly, we focus our resources on a small number of selected projects
where our engagement can make a significant difference, rather than on a vast
number of projects.

If you believe your
request falls into one of our five focus areas, please submit a sponsorship request.

Political Engagement

Lonza is committed to sustainable
values, which includes investing in our people, our communities, responsible
sourcing, as well as environment, health and safety. Investing in communities
includes, among others, the civic commitment by Lonza to contribute to a
transparent dialogue on topics that are relevant to Lonza, its business and
constituencies, its employees and stakeholders. This includes the right by
Lonza, much like it is the right of any individual and entity, to express its
views and to pursue its interest.

In line with such civic commitment,
Lonza adheres to the following principles:

Lonza does directly not fund political
parties or election campaigns of persons or political parties.

Lonza may support political issues if they
correspond to the company’s targets or if they are in line with important
interests of Lonza.

Lonza is committed to voice its views and
pursue its interests, much like any other member of society. For this
purpose, Lonza may actively engage in the political decision-making
process, always in line with its company purpose. It may do so
directly or through industry associations.

Lonza further supports the civic
engagement of its employees, and in particular the engagement in taking
public offices that are in the interest of the public and are for modest
compensation. The rules are set out in the respective employee regulation
and apply independently of person and political preferences.
